"Infuse
a
handful
of
well
sifted
wheat
bran
for
four
hours
in
white
wine
vinegar;
add
to
it
five
yolks
of
eggs
and
two
grains
of
musk,
and
distill
the
whole.
Bottle
it,
keep
carefully
corked
fifteen
days,
when
it
will
be
fit
for
use.
Apply
it
over
night,
and
wash
in
the
morning
with
tepid
water."
TOOTH-POWDER.--
"Prepared
chalk
6
oz.
Cassia
powder
1/2
oz.
Orris-root
1
oz.
"These
should
be
thoroughly
mixed
and
used
once
a
day
with
a
firm
brush.
"A
simple
mixture
of
charcoal
and
cream
of
tartar
is
an
excellent
tooth-powder."
TO
WHITEN
THE
HAND.--"Both
Spanish
and
French
women--those,
at
least,
who
are
very
particular
to
make
the
most
of
these
charms--are
in
the
habit
of
sleeping
in
gloves
which
are
lined
or
plastered
over
with
a
kind
of
pomade
to
improve
the
delicacy
and
complexion
of
their
hands.
This
paste
is
generally
made
of
the
following
ingredients:--
"Take
half
a
pound
of
soft
soap,
a
gill
of
salad
oil,
an
ounce
of
mutton
tallow,
and
boil
them
till
they
are
thoroughly
mixed.
After
the
boiling
has
ceased,
but
before
it
is
cold,
add
one
gill
of
spirits
of
wine,
and
a
grain
of
musk.
"If
any
lady
wishes
to
try
this,
she
can
buy
a
pair
of
gloves
three
or
four
sizes
larger
than
the
hand,
rip
them
open
and
spread
on
a
thin
layer
of
the
paste,
and
then
sew
the
gloves
up
again.
There
is
no
doubt
that
by
wearing
them
every
night
they
will
give
smoothness
and
a
fine
complexion
to
the
hands.
Those
who
have
the
means,
can
send
to
Paris
and
purchase
them
ready
made.
